As Zhao Yimeng said, it was the company that had problems, not her family's situation.

Although most of the Zhao family's wealth was in the Donghuang Group, they had plenty of other assets. The Zhao family's conditions were similar to the Su family's, both belonging to families with assets of several billion. No one would be foolish enough to put all their eggs in one basket.

So, although Zhao Yimeng was worried, she was far from being at her wit's end.

If her father hadn't been sick, this girl probably wouldn't be so anxious. The Donghuang Group's main business was commercial real estate projects. Even if the prices fell, the real estate itself was still there.

If it weren't for the money owed to the bank, the worst-case scenario would simply be a shrinking stock price and asset devaluation. When the real estate industry recovered, there would be a chance for it to rise again.

In Su Yehao's eyes, the Donghuang Group currently lacked a large sum of money to overcome the immediate difficulties. Once they got through it, they would be weakened in the short term, but the long-term prospects were still relatively bright.

He took a sip of tea.

Zhao Yimeng stared at Su Yehao. For some reason, she felt that he was full of confidence and didn't seem to be teasing her at all.

In other words, there might really be a way to help her family resolve the crisis.

Thinking of this, Miss Zhao's heart stirred, and she asked:

"Don't expect me to agree to a marriage alliance. You said yourself that it would be kicking someone when they're down. I can't agree to that. Apart from that, we can talk about anything else. If our two families maintain a close and friendly relationship, all the real estate developers in Casino will be no match for us."

"The market is so big that in my eyes, they are not rivals, including your family."

For the time being, Su Yehao really couldn't think of anything he wanted.

In the past, he might have asked for a kiss, just like when he teased Nong Qingying. But now he was more mature and knew when to stop. Jiang Yu had been living under his nose for two months, and nothing had happened.

After thinking it over again and again, he said, "Let's put the conditions on hold for now, and don't talk to me about the specific situation of your company, lest I decide to short your stock and end up being accused of insider trading."

"…You actually want to short my family's stock!?" Zhao Yimeng frowned, really admiring Su Yehao's thick skin.

Su Yehao looked calm and said indifferently, "Anyway, the situation is bad, and the stock price will fall anyway. It's better to let my family take advantage of it. What's the big deal?"

"The Donghuang Group's situation is bad, and the stock price will most likely fall. The short-term debt in April can't be repaid. I've already told you that. As long as someone asks, I'll report you and make sure you don't dare to have any bad ideas!"

"…"

After hearing Zhao Yimeng's words, Su Yehao raised a middle finger and said, "How childish. Let me short it first to make a profit, and then find a way to help your family earn it back. Wouldn't that be fine?"

"If you make money, what about the shareholders?" Zhao Yimeng asked.

This question was beyond Su Yehao's expectations, and he said, dumbfounded, "So, there really are major shareholders who care about the interests of small shareholders? I thought that in the eyes of you people, there are leeks everywhere, and one crop after another is harvested."

Zhao Yimeng really wanted to ask clearly what "you people" meant, but she saw that the topic was going astray, so she didn't go around in circles and forcibly pulled the topic back to the main point.

She nodded and said, "Okay, as long as you can help my family through the difficulties, I can guarantee on behalf of my parents that I will agree to a reasonable request from you."

"Reasonable…the scope is too broad. If I ask you to kiss me and you say it's unreasonable, wouldn't I be working for nothing? It's hard work to use your brain to think of ways and come up with ideas for a listed company like Donghuang Group."

Su Yehao didn't treat her worries as problems and was still in the mood to joke around.

Zhao Yimeng bit her lip, thinking that this guy was still so annoying. A kiss was indeed a bit too much, but it didn't seem completely unacceptable.

At least compared to when they were in high school, Su Yehao had improved a lot. He had not only gotten rid of the title of a prodigal son who didn't study, but he had also become a well-known outstanding young man who had made a lot of profits from investments.

With a bit of reluctance, Zhao Yimeng said in a fierce tone:

"Kiss, then kiss! Am I afraid of you? Just treat it as being gnawed by a pig. We have as much toothpaste as you want!"

"Tsk…"

Su Yehao clicked his tongue. This time, he didn't continue to tease her and said,

"Suddenly I'm not interested anymore. Let's change it to tangible things like sports cars, yachts, and helicopters. Cash is also fine."

"My idea is to continue selling these assets and then adjust the development direction, transferring the business to key areas in the core cities of the mainland, such as near the Sihai International Cultural Tourism City, or the Lujiazui area of Shanghai where I bought land."

"Investing in hotels is not as good as investing in shopping malls, investing in shopping malls is not as good as investing in office buildings, and investing in office buildings is not as good as investing in residential buildings. If we build a large number of mid-to-high-end residential projects, the Donghuang Group can be reborn within three to five years. Believe it or not, it's up to you…"

Zhao Yimeng paused for a moment and said, "That's it?"

Su Yehao was speechless and said helplessly, "I told you, believe it or not, it's up to you. These are considered steady and slow methods. If you want to make quick money, you can also invest in the U.S. NASDAQ stock exchange, investing in Amazon, Oracle, or Yahoo. Take out 500 million in capital, and your company will definitely clear its debts within two years."

There were many examples of him offering heartfelt advice and suggestions, only to have them fall on deaf ears.

Today was the same.

Two paths were laid out in front of Zhao Yimeng, and either one would lead to a bright future.

But this girl had her own ideas and couldn't be like Nangong Tian and Nong Qingying, who listened to Su Yehao's investment decisions without question.

In this way, it could be said that fools have their own blessings.

Zhao Yimeng shook her head slightly and said,

"My company's situation can't withstand any more setbacks. Let's take a look at the projects on the file first. Is there anything that interests you? For example, this piece of land on Taipa Island can be used to build four thirty-two-story apartments. We acquired the land two years ago for 260 million Hong Kong dollars, and now we can sell it to your family at the original price."

Sixty million Hong Kong dollars for one building, and that's just the land.

If it were two households per floor, the land cost per apartment would be about one million Hong Kong dollars. The apartments are very large and belong to high-end properties, so there is definitely room for profit.

"Did you hear that my dad is acquiring land on Taipa Island?"

Su Yehao asked curiously and then said, "What about the detailed planning documents? Did you bring them?"

"I brought them, they're in the car."

After Zhao Yimeng finished speaking, she looked at Su Yehao, and Su Yehao was also staring at her.

After a moment of silence.

Su Yehao said, "Do I have flowers on my face? The documents are in your car. Do you expect me to go get them for you?"

"…I'll get them, what are you getting so worked up about?"

"…"
